"I do not recommend at all!!! We came to eat at 8:30 PM and waited almost an hour until our antipasti were ready. The fish was good so we had high expectations for the main course , even though the salads were bland(no dressing, not even salt and pepper) and overpriced. I was already disappointed when the waiter told me that they were out of the two pasta dishes I had my eyes set on, so I had to opt for the Pizza Vegetariana. That and the other 4 Pizzas that I and my friends had ordered arrived very late, it was after 10:15 PM. Furthermore it was probably the worst Pizza I have ever eaten. The dough including the vegetables had clearly been frozen and only warmed up before served, it was undercooked and a little bit burned which they tried to cover up by putting huge amounts of radicchio on top. The Gnocchi were okay but an amount that does not add up with the price, the risotto was watery and tasted old. We told them that we didn't like the Food much and when we paid they gave us a 4€ discount on our 179€ bill... The service was not unfriendly but I still urge you not to eat at this place!"

"Simply fantastic attentive service and remarkable food. My wife is from Milan and we live in the Washington DC area of the U.S we also travel a LOT, so we have a lot of restaurant experience…….so I can say with a good degree of confidence that this is an excellent restaurant worth visiting (we even got lucky with some live outdoor music on Saturday). Bravi!"

"The outdoor setting Is wonderful. On arrival we ordered an aperitif, gin and tonic and aperol spritz. The tonic was flat the the aperol was served with water not procesco We thé ordered a bottle of wine from the menu, chosen because it was a 2016 vintage. A 2020 version was brought to the table and when we questioned it the waitress replied that it was the new one. Our starter and main courses were delicious so we ordered a pudding. When it arrived at the table it was white chocolate rather than the dark chocolate as described on the menu. When we asked why we were told that it had changed! We left feeling that as the customers we were expected to just accept whatever standard was decided by the restaurant. We would not return or recommend it"

"This was not only the single worst meal I've ever had in Italy (in or so trips), but might be the single worst meal my wife and I have had ANYWHERE. We are not their enemies, just shocked travelers. We went because three guidebooks,...all supposedly independent, raved about this place. The room is beautiful, and the hotel stunning. A good start. The obsequious staff should have been a warning, but that happens sometimes. My wife started off with a cold dish described as a salad with strawberries and mint. One strawberry, cut into four pieces, and mostly spoiled (which if I had known would have been sent back), smothered with can it possibly be?!? Island dressing, or at least the Italian equivalent. This would have been simply bad had the strawberry been edible. My soup was marginally adequate. My wife's second dish was grossly overcooked tuna that might have lain around for a week or so. I made the terrible decision to have veal, which came out as German weinershnitzel. Oh my goodness! The obsequious waiter asked us how the meal was and I said in a condescending voice, abastanza bene certainly no compliment. I should have said Horribile and Non voglio pagare but I was still in shock. BTW, the coup de grace was that their credit card line wasn't working. So instead of making us comfortable at the table, they marched me into the manager's office so he could explain. Shouldn't he have come to me? The only other diners were British travelers who didn't have full menu access. They were laughing and having fun and may not have noticed how bad things were. My wife was convinced that the restaurant crew was laughing at us, and afterwards, I had to agree. Thank goodness I at least told them the food was mediocre. But mediocre was a gross compliment given what we had. Minus stars."
